A head full of
bouncy curls or thick hair looks beautiful on a girl or a guy. But curls and
volume can feel like a curse when full-on frizz strikes! Frizzy, fluffy hair is
not a good look on anybody, so we've compiled a bunch of tips that teach you
how to fix frizzy hair and get your smooth on.

First off: what the heck happened to your
hair??

The weather, most
likely. Summer heat and winter rain can play havoc with dry, porous hair, as moisture
from the air swells the shaft, creating that wild-haired look. #NotCool.

Styling tools are
an enemy to glossy locks too. Although flat irons give a temporary smoothing
effect, over time they can damage the hair, especially if you don't use a heat
protection spray.

So how can you prevent nightmare hair?

There are many
ways of protecting and repairing frizzy hair. You can use products on dry hair
after styling for temporary smoothing effects, or use products on wet hair that
work gradually to permanently banish frizz. Let us take you through your hair
care regimen from start to finish with frizz-busting solutions you can try IRL:

Washing:

Majorly dry, coarse curls? Use a shampoo and
conditioner made especially for curly hair

Only shampoo your hair once or twice a week
(three times is the max!)

Use a deep conditioner (hello crucial tip!) to
seal the hair shaft and protect against frizz

Leave your deep conditioner on for 15-30
minutes. This ain't a luxury; it's a necessity

Use natural oil as an overnight treatment and
wash it out the following morning

With all that said, preventing frizz is
better than trying to fight it

So make a few
lifestyle changes for lasting results! Get regular trims at the
hair salon to
prevent the drama of split ends. Trade your cotton pillowcase for a silk one (check
you, sleeping beauty!) or even try wrapping hair in a silk scarf while you
slumber (so Audrey Hepburn it hurts).

And remember that healthy
hair starts from within! Eat a diet rich in olive and coconut oil, snack on
cashews and almonds, and consider vitamins formulated to strengthen hair (check
with the doc first).
